I have a set of GSR blades that I want to color bronze or gold or something besides silver. annnyway, there's a guy at my dad's work who can powder coat them for ~50 bucks per wheel or I could paint them myself, for much cheaper. what is a better choice, as I have no experience with powder coating.

 

Powder is way more durable, and you have a huge color selection.

 

ew wat? its my car.

 

chrome them!

 

god no. chrome=red necks and black people. i dont mean that in a racist sense, only in a truly stereotypical one.

 

$50/wheel is a pretty good deal last I checked. Get er done and post pics.

 

Have them professionally done with the guy who works with your dad .

 

$50 sounds very good, just get them professionally done, then you wont have to worry about your spray job chipping and such

 

i asked a local powdercoating shop that i never talked to before and they only wanted 25 a wheel

maybe, but i have seen shops want $80 a wheel as well, it all depends where you live/availability, I think $50 is very reasonable

 

powdercoat

It's his car so who cares if you don't like it?

To the OP: I say have them powdercoated vs you spraying them. They will look better, and last longer.

hmm probably since there is about 4 places within 15 mins of my house and i suppose they have to be competitive with prices

lol but yeah post up some pics when you do it ! do bronze

 

I agree with bronze

 

Powdercoat them. They will look like ***** in a couple months if you spray them with krylon.

 

dont be cheap you'll regret it later...powder coat

 

Bronze would look nice, BUT gunmetal would look better...depending on what color car you drive....

BUT defently go for the powercoat..will last a lot longer, than if you painted them yourself..sow pics once you've done it...

 

gunmetal is not for me. i have a red teg, someday championship white..sigh..so bronze ftw.

 

bronze looks hella dope on a red car! but definitely powder coat them... or if you feel like being cheap, then spray them yourself... and if worse comes to worst, take it to the shop to get them done.

but all in all, get it done right the first time and just powder coat them... $50 is pretty good... shops in SD run for about the same price.
